CURRENT MISSION

Surviving Japan on a Budget!

ABOUT ME

I just realized that I needed to travel and I'm hoping to start off with Japan before I make my big excursion across Europe. I'm a nice and mellow guy that enjoys anything and everything. I could sit around and talk for hours about nonsense or I could have a fun time dancing the night away. I enjoy meeting new people, seeing new things, understanding other cultures and enjoying great food. I also love to take a lot of photos for my personal blog and website!

PHILOSOPHY

Live for today, look towards tomorrow and don't dwell on the past.

Enjoy your life because you're still standing and breathing which is enough for anyone to be happy about.

Don't let life pass you by, grab it by the arms and pull yourself in front of it.

Music, Movies, and Books

Books: Steinbeck, Bukowski, and Fitzgerald. Love those three and anything they write! I work in a freaking library and all I do is read Bukowski!

Music: I love indie rock and post hardcore. Although, I do listen to everything. Check out my playlists and you'll see for yourself.

Movies: One of my favorite movies is American History X. I love the bond between the brothers and how the older brother realized the mistakes he made in his past and tried to make things better for his family.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Played with my band in front of a crowd of about 300 people and spread my knowledge unto them with my lyrics.

Helped to rebuild a Native American reservation in Arizona.

Seeing with my own eyes the great power of humanity that saved my family from the terror and destruction of a corrupt military rule in Cambodia.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to play the guitar (if you have one).

I could teach you how to cook some Laotian dishes. Yum Yum Yum!

Finally, I'll teach anything else that I know to the best of my knowledge!
